The Miller book is called: MILLER RECORDS and was written in 1954 about the Charles Miller Family from South Carolina.

The book starts with the immediate family of Charles and Priscilla (Lucas) Miller. The explanation for the book is that nothing much is known of the early life of Charles Miller but the life was given attention due to a letter by Gov. S. D. Miller (July 23, 1835) to their daughter (Mary) who later became the wife of Gen. James Chesnut. He said that the ancestor of the family landed in Boston and that the family came south to Lancaster, SC by way of Maryland.

Charles Miller's wife was Priscilla Lucas, daughter of John Lucas of Mass., according to the letter. They had 8 children - both he and his wife died about 1792.

Not every child was researched as the author was really just interested in the Charles Miller, Jr. family, but if you think your Miller has a tie to one of the above, I will email you with what the book has on that family.
